Mysteries Cover Plans for Ivy Day
Double Enigma Formed by Axe, Secret Bag in Traditional Rite
John Donaldson NamedWampus Business Head
Who has the axe? What's in the secret bag? The mystery enshrouding this double enigma won’t be cleared up until next Thursday’s traditional Ivy day ceremonies, when the seniors pay their last official respects to the university.
The axe referred to is the time-honored weapon which is annually “buried” by the freshman and sophomore presidents. The axe is then supposed to be delivered to a vault for safe-keeping, but after last year's ritual some tradition-defyer made off with it.
Culprit Known ‘ We know who the culprit is.” declared Bud Rifkin, Ivy day chairman, “and measures will be taken to recover the axe in ti»u? for Thursday’s ceremonies.”
The mystery bag is an old Amazon custom which dates back at least 45 years. Every year the outgoing president of the women’s service organization presents the newly-elected head with a secret bag which contains appropriate gifts for her and for various prominent campus groups and personalities. Ida Mae Compere, departing Amazon president, will tender the enigmatic bundle to Mary Jane Sturgeon this year.
Contents Unknown Any hint as to what the bag will contain was not divulged by Miss Compere.
“But,” she tsated. “there might be some raspberries from the senior class to the junior class.”
An added attraction to the Ivy day festivities will be the revival, after a lapse of six years, of the Dog-on button tradition. The button will be awarded to the senior who makes a professor laugh the loudest in class between now and finals.
Officers being replaced are: D. with Miss Rickies in the dean’s Edward Safarjian. president; Mar- j office. An estimate of the number garet Laton. vice-president; and I of guests attending is necessary in Newton Kelman, treasurer.

Some Trojans Didn’t Ditch
* * * * * * * * * * * * But Majority Attend AIbU Event * * * * * * * * +*** Deauville Club Is Scene of Holiday
Von KleinSmid Presented With Historical Picture
A hand-embroidered picture done in colored silk was presented to Dr. Rufus B. von KleinSmid by T. F. Waung, electrical engineer graduate of ’27, who visited the campus yesterday as representative of the S.C. alumni association of China with headquarters in Shanghai.
Now hanging in the president’s suite, the symbolic design shows Tong Fund Hsi. court magician in the days of the Hun dynasty, as he holds a peach, which is said to grow once every 2000 years and to bring immortality to the one who eats the fruit.
News scoop of the week is that a visible proportion of Trojans actually attended classes yesterday in the regular fashion, regardless of the fact that Professors Coalson Morris and Jaye Brower called roll at the field trip to the Deauville beach club at 8 o’clock sharp for a curriculum of swimming, dancing, beach sports, and diversified entertainment as part of the first alluniversity ditch day in the history of S.C.
The Student Union, far from being deserted, witnessed the trickling in and out of students in various degrees of studiousness, while Bridge hall, Law school, Old College, and medical and dental buildings were the scenes of many a little episode of apple-polishing. Doheny library carried on a thriving business during most of the day, as many Trojans floated in to catch up on their term papers and other reference work, making it almost as difficult to find a parking space as it is when ditching is done surreptitiously.
However, in spite of the attend-
ance of numerous stooges to scholarly matters, the ditch day activities at the beach club could hardly be termed as ignored. A large contingent of coeds and their escorts reported to the classes which convened at surfside, where customary diversions occupied their time. School was frequently interrupted for assembly periods, when motion picture stars and night club entertainers performed for the gathering in accord with a special program planned by committee heads Morris and Brower. The ticket committee was headed by Irving Klubok. Location committee chairman was Charles Brust, Entertainment arrangements were directed by Bob Smirl.
Entertainers scheduled to perform yesterday were: Nick Stuart, singer and orchestra directo -; the Two Beaux, comedy dancers; Frank King, vocalist; Pansy, trick horse; the radio rogues; Colleen Jader, juvenile tap dancer; Johnny Downs, actor; Ruth Skinner, vocalist; and Rosalie and Marquis, R.K.O. dance team.
Wallace Discusses New Farm Program
WASHINGTON. May 27—(U.E)— While promising full New Deal cooperation in efforts to develop new industrial uses for farm products, Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace warned tonight that such work cannot be considered a solution to the farm nroblem.
Wallace’s warning was conveyed in a letter to Francis P. Garvan. president of the farm chemurgic council, who recently proposed a plan to coordinate agriculture, industry and science in an attempt to find new methods of utilizing huge farm surpluses.
Political observers immediately expressed the belief that Wallace’s letter was written in an effort to counteract possibility of Republicans setting up development of chemical industrial uses for agricultural products as an appeal to farm voters.

Mysteries Cover Plans for Ivy Day
Double Enigma Formed by Axe, Secret Bag in Traditional Rite
John Donaldson NamedWampus Business Head
Who has the axe? What's in the secret bag? The mystery enshrouding this double enigma won’t be cleared up until next Thursday’s traditional Ivy day ceremonies, when the seniors pay their last official respects to the university.
The axe referred to is the time-honored weapon which is annually “buried” by the freshman and sophomore presidents. The axe is then supposed to be delivered to a vault for safe-keeping, but after last year's ritual some tradition-defyer made off with it.
Culprit Known ‘ We know who the culprit is.” declared Bud Rifkin, Ivy day chairman, “and measures will be taken to recover the axe in ti»u? for Thursday’s ceremonies.”
The mystery bag is an old Amazon custom which dates back at least 45 years. Every year the outgoing president of the women’s service organization presents the newly-elected head with a secret bag which contains appropriate gifts for her and for various prominent campus groups and personalities. Ida Mae Compere, departing Amazon president, will tender the enigmatic bundle to Mary Jane Sturgeon this year.
Contents Unknown Any hint as to what the bag will contain was not divulged by Miss Compere.
“But,” she tsated. “there might be some raspberries from the senior class to the junior class.”
An added attraction to the Ivy day festivities will be the revival, after a lapse of six years, of the Dog-on button tradition. The button will be awarded to the senior who makes a professor laugh the loudest in class between now and finals.
Officers being replaced are: D. with Miss Rickies in the dean’s Edward Safarjian. president; Mar- j office.

Some Trojans Didn’t Ditch

Von KleinSmid Presented With Historical Picture
A hand-embroidered picture done in colored silk was presented to Dr. Rufus B. von KleinSmid by T. F. Waung, electrical engineer graduate of ’27, who visited the campus yesterday as representative of the S.C. alumni association of China with headquarters in Shanghai.
Now hanging in the president’s suite, the symbolic design shows Tong Fund Hsi. court magician in the days of the Hun dynasty, as he holds a peach, which is said to grow once every 2000 years and to bring immortality to the one who eats the fruit.
News scoop of the week is that a visible proportion of Trojans actually attended classes yesterday in the regular fashion, regardless of the fact that Professors Coalson Morris and Jaye Brower called roll at the field trip to the Deauville beach club at 8 o’clock sharp for a curriculum of swimming, dancing, beach sports, and diversified entertainment as part of the first alluniversity ditch day in the history of S.C.
The Student Union, far from being deserted, witnessed the trickling in and out of students in various degrees of studiousness, while Bridge hall, Law school, Old College, and medical and dental buildings were the scenes of many a little episode of apple-polishing. Doheny library carried on a thriving business during most of the day, as many Trojans floated in to catch up on their term papers and other reference work, making it almost as difficult to find a parking space as it is when ditching is done surreptitiously.
However, in spite of the attend-
ance of numerous stooges to scholarly matters, the ditch day activities at the beach club could hardly be termed as ignored. A large contingent of coeds and their escorts reported to the classes which convened at surfside, where customary diversions occupied their time. School was frequently interrupted for assembly periods, when motion picture stars and night club entertainers performed for the gathering in accord with a special program planned by committee heads Morris and Brower. The ticket committee was headed by Irving Klubok. Location committee chairman was Charles Brust, Entertainment arrangements were directed by Bob Smirl.
Entertainers scheduled to perform yesterday were: Nick Stuart, singer and orchestra directo -; the Two Beaux, comedy dancers; Frank King, vocalist; Pansy, trick horse; the radio rogues; Colleen Jader, juvenile tap dancer; Johnny Downs, actor; Ruth Skinner, vocalist; and Rosalie and Marquis, R.K.O. dance team.
Wallace Discusses New Farm Program
WASHINGTON. May 27—(U.E)— While promising full New Deal cooperation in efforts to develop new industrial uses for farm products, Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace warned tonight that such work cannot be considered a solution to the farm nroblem.

Political observers immediately expressed the belief that Wallace’s letter was written in an effort to counteract possibility of Republicans setting up development of chemical industrial uses for agricultural products as an appeal to farm voters.
